The Hungarian Ice Hockey Federation (Hungarian: Magyar Jégkorong Szövetség, MJSZ) is the governing body of ice hockey in Hungary.[1] The federation was founded in 1988, when it separated from the Hungarian Ice Sports Association, under the leadership of György Pásztor.[2][3][4] He felt that to improve ice hockey in Hungary, a stronger national league was needed, which required more youths, more arenas, and proper leadership.[5]
